Much praised and much missed after its premature cancellation, Firefly is the first SF TV series to be conceived by Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy and cocreator of Angel. Set five centuries in the future, it is a show where the mysterious personal pasts of the crew of the tramp spaceship Serenity continually surface. In fact, it's a Western in space where the losers in a Civil War are heading out to a barren frontier. Mal Reynolds is a man embittered by the war, yet whose love of his comrades perpetually dents his cynicism--even in the 14 episodes that exist we see him warm to the bubbly young mechanic Kaylee, the preacher Book, the idealistic doctor Simon, even to the often demented River, Simon's sister, the psychic result of malign experiments. Firefly is also about adult emotional relationships, for example Kaylee's crush on Simon, the happy marriage of Mal's second officer Zoe and the pilot Wash, the disastrous erotic stalemate between Mal and the courtesan Inara. Individual episodes deal with capers going vaguely wrong, or threats narrowly circumvented; character and plot arcs were starting to emerge when the show was cancelled. Fortunately, the spin-off movie Serenity ties up some of the ends; and in the meantime, what there is of Firefly is a show to marvel at, both for its tight writing and ensemble acting, and the idiocy of the executives who cancelled it.
Kirsten Dunst stars in this tale of the trials & tribulations faced by an award winning high school chearleading team.

Dances with Wolves is the film that sent director-producer-actor Kevin Costner on his hubristic way; yet it is such a resonant and powerful film that we can almost forgive him for inflicting upon us his later "epic" The Postman. Here Costner plays a Union solder stationed at the far edges of the West, and left there to rot at his post. He finally sees the wisdom of the Lakota Sioux and finds peace within their community. But his decision to "go native" is greatly frowned upon by his military commanders, and the subsequent culture clash forms the backbone of the narrative. The story is told simply, and wastes not one word of dialogue, while the South Dakota locations provide a magnificent backdrop. Costner is sympathetic and accessible as an American Everyman who awakens to himself and the world around him... --Rochelle O'Gorman, Amazon.com

Two Guys And A Girl (or Two Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place as it started its life) was the popular 90s sitcom that launched the career of movie star Ryan Reynolds with his standout role as Michael 'Berg' Bergen. Alongside Richard Ruccolo (Pete) and Traylor Howard (Sharon) Reynolds played one of three college graduates and best friends trying to come to terms with life after college battling new found responsibilities and failed relationships along the way. The show went from strength to strength with the addition of regular cast members Johnny (played by Castle's Nathan Fillion) and Ashley (Suzanne Cryer) after the second season and it went on to become a brilliant mix of comedy and drama with just a spot of insanity (yes we mean Irene)! Packed full of guest stars including Tiffani Thiessen (Saved By The Bell) Carmen Electra (Baywatch) Jon Cryer (Two And A Half Men) Bo Derek (10) and bands such as Blink 182 and Barenaked Ladies Two Guys And A Girl ran for only four brilliant seasons all of which appear in this complete box set for the very first time exclusively to the UK!
What might have been a one-note family comedy becomes something more thanks to the comic brilliance of co-stars Nathan Lane and Lee Evans, as well as the distinctive, dark-fable look given the film by a little-known director named Gore Verbinksi (could he be the next Tim Burton?). Lane and Evans play idiotic brothers who inherit a house and all but destroy it in pursuit of one small, pesky mouse. The guys are always the butt of the sight gags--most of which are very funny--but their considerable powers as slapstick artists are also at play. The climactic scene at an auction was the funniest scene in any American movie in 1997, the year of Mouse Hunt's release. --Tom Keogh
